Pros

Great perks CEO is great

Cons

TTD talks a lot about culture but I don't think they actually know what that is. On the surface it may seem great but when you actually delve deeper there are really big issues that no one wants to address. For example, upper management is a complete joke. Most of them don't want to be managers but were put in those positions because they've been there the longest. Along with all the other "managers", I would say only a handful are qualified. This is taking into account all the offices across the world. They are put in those positions without actually wanting to be in a management spot. Lots of people take advantage of expensing things, it's shocking. There are people who work hard and are really smart. There are others that are just plain awful human beings but don't get fired because they have friends or are connected with managers and upper management. Reading this you may be inclined to think TTD is pretty great, but talk to some of the actual people who work there because most of these "awesome, amazing" reviews aren't real. TTD has real issues a lot of people with actual power don't want to address.
